[quote=@Bornlucky] [center][sup][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTYrxohimto]Archery Field Cont'd[/url][/sup] [@Mistress Dizzy][/center] In his absent minded musing Ryoma was brought back to reality by the sounds of a voice belonging to the person Ryoma didn't expect to hear in this location. Ryoma turned his focus to the voice. It was who he thought it was, Jin. The former captain of the archery club. The one person who's aim with a bow surpasses his own, if only by a margin. Jin is also a person surrounded by ill informed rumors; Ryoma wasn't so sure if any of them were true or not, since Ryoma doesn't know much about them besides them moving from the states and they had one hell of a good aim. Ryoma shifted his stance somewhat, making him look more rigid and tense then the moment before, he didn't know what to say, he wasn't expecting anybody for awhile, he hasn't mentally prepared himself for this encounter. This could go horrible if he doesn't choose his words carefully with this interaction. Even if the rumors surrounding Jin are wrong they still carry an air of ... independence. But yet they still called him sempai, Ryoma should call him Kouhai, he knew that, but he didn't feel like calling him that, but their skills was better then his and Jin was the captain of the archery club before, so it would be strange to call them that in this setting. They might consider that condescending. And he doesn't need any enemies. "Greetings, Jin-San." Ryoma responded formally, this was his most composed manner of speaking, if this was a more casual exchange that would cause trouble. "Sure." Ryoma said, he felt like he should say more, but he might stumble over his words like a fat baby deer. Ryoma watched Jin get prepared and then quickly aim and shoot, nearly getting a bull eye's, most people, even other club members would consider that a perfect shot. But to Ryoma and by the sound of the former captain's muttering proved that it could've been better. It was off by 4mm. Ryoma previous shot was off only by 0.9mm. But the two in the archery field knew Jin could do better, not like Ryoma would ever say that out loud. But they're out of practice, and admittedly it was still better aim then the rest of the club, and if they're meaning to return to the club they could easily surpass him soon enough with practice. "Good shot, Jin-San." Ryoma responded genuinely. "Especially for being r-rusty." Ryoma praised Jin slightly as he tried to make sure of himself not to sound coddling or superior to them. "I-I almost beat your record from last year." Ryoma admitted, he wasn't sure why he admitted that but he felt like he needed to say it. "I plan to beat it before the end of the year... I-I hope you don't mind." Ryoma politely asked the ex-captain. While they quit the role, Ryoma was there when they were captain, impressive for a first year so Ryoma respects the underclassmen like a Sempai himself. But that's all too embarrassing to admit he barely knew Jin as a person. Hopefully, he won't say anything awkward or sappy when Jin's here. He would literally die if he did. [/quote] Jin stared at Ryoma for a long moment, before flashing the upperclassman a small, but genuine smile. "I don't mind at all. Smash my record. Make people forget my name was ever there." Far from being bothered, they seemed excited about the prospect. "Maybe they'll stop begging me to rejoin the team." With that, Jin set another arrow and let fly, the second one nestling close enough to the first to make them both shudder with force. "Wish I could just do this by myself." Jin set down the bow and then removed the gauken jacket, revealing a [url=http://drop.ctn.io/k/blog/selfrepair-logo.gif]black tee shirt with an odd logo[/url]. Then they stretched high, causing a nasty series of pops from their slender shoulders. "Tch... ouch. No wonder I can't shoot. I should have warmed up first." Loosened up, Jin took up the bow again, but this time simply looked the weapon over, dark eyes looking over every centimeter of string and every knot. Then the same with the arrows, investigating each with a critical eye before discarding it or putting it in the quiver on their back. "Did you hear about that robot nonsense down town? I don't know what people are freaking out about. It's probably just some viral movie promo or something. At least it will give them something to bitch and gossip about besides me..." With a sharp little sigh, Jin's gaze sharpened on the empty target. They shot, one after the next, arrows flying into the target with a sniper's precision. When the quiver was empty, a [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/7f/1b/5c/7f1b5cecf484a0394c14ba85e6cbd2c6.jpg]symbol[/url] stood out from the slightly vibrating target. "I have great faith that you'll surpass me, Ryoma-sempai. I'll come applaud you the day that you do."
